Questions & Answers

Hi. I use Notion 6 to score drum parts for teaching. Often this requires including left and right sticking guides (L, R, etc.), especially when teaching snare drum rudiments.

The problem I have is with notating flams, i.e. a grace note on one hand followed by a note on the other hand. This is commonly notated using a grace note with a slur mark to the "main" note:

Ideally the grace note sticking text should line up with the grace note as above; at present it is not possible to do this using the "Lyr-ics" or Text tools - it ignores the grace note and aligns under the main note.
